What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Gorsley Common. What changes the price is:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

How to get a fixed price

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What we can’t put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray that moves underfoot

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Stone resin
  • Enamelled steel
  • Ceramic
  • Cast iron
  • Acrylic

How to look after the repair

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

What we do, step by step

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Get a quote

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Gorsley Common

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Chips usually come from dropped bottles.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Chips caused during fitting

Before booking anyone

  • How soon you can use it again
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Our hiring checklist

Landlord and trade work in Gorsley Common

If you manage property in Gorsley Common, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
